About Horse Meets Dog
Product description “A wonderful read! You’ll never look at horses or dogs the same way again!” —Jon Stewart, former host of The Daily Show Horse is just an oversize dog with funny paws…according to Dog. And Dog? Just a tiny baby horse with a weird tail. That’s what Horse thinks, anyway. Television comedy writer Elliott Kalan and acclaimed illustrator Tim Miller team up in this clever comedy of mistaken species identity. More praise for Horse Meets Dog: “Horse meets Dog! Kalan meets Miller! Two great teams—one SO-DARN-FUNNY book! Go get it!” —Laurie Keller “Horse Meets Dog is a sweet, wise, and genuinely ha-ha funny exploration of not just horse/dog relations (historically strained), but also of friendship and difference.” —John Hodgman, author of Vacationland From School Library Journal K-Gr 2-In Daily Show writer Kalan's funny tale of misunderstandings, Horse and Dog get each other birthday presents: Horse gets Dog a tiny saddle ("Someone sits on you, and you take them wherever they want to go. Fun!"), and Dog returns the favor with a ball for playing fetch ("This is my favorite game! For obvious reasons!"). In a twist that will buck grown-up readers' expectations, the two don't develop empathy and walk off into the sunset; instead, the last page sees a new friend join the muddle, a bird who thinks Dog and Horse are both weird-looking birds. The easy, short sentences make this great for beginning readers; they will find Miller's (Snappsy the Alligator) expressive animal cartoons a hoot, too. VERDICT Fans of Snappsy and of Mo Willems's Pigeon will enjoy these overly confident creatures and their goofy obliviousness.-Henrietta Verma, Credo Reference, Jackson Heights, NYα(c) Copyright 2011.

Kalan meets Miller! Two great teams – one SO-DARN-FUNNY book! Go get it!” (Laurie Keller) “A terrific picture book debut, moving the wonderfully narcissistic dialogue along quickly as these two huge—and hugely mistaken—egos battle it out.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review)) From the Back Cover Horse is just an oversized dog with funny paws . . . according to Dog. And Dog? Just a tiny baby horse with a weird tail. That’s what Horse thinks, anyway. Elliott Kalan and Tim Miller team up in this clever comedy of mistaken species identity.

He lives with his wife and two sons in Gross Angeles (HIPPO!).
